The matter was taken up
w ith some of the bishops They
are said to have admitted that
the plan was not what would be
desired, nor was it adequate to
protect a retired minister from
the ravages of want in old age.
The prelates are reported as

given serious consideration,

WASHINGTON. DC -
National Education Associa

last week, that "Congress has
scored another victory on
behalf of human dignity" in
overriding President Ford's
veto of the School Lunch and
Child Nutrition Act.
"The President’s narrow
approach to the sensitive needs
of children and youth has been
justifiably rebuffed." said
Ryor in praising lawmakers
for the second override of an
.NEA-supported bill in recent
weeks.
The President’s veto of a $7.5
billion education money bill
was overridden by both
chambers in early September.
Ford charged the nutrition and
the appropriation bills as being
inflationary.
